ABSTRACT. Much of the literature on values in science is framed around the idea of a shift in the status of the so-called value-free ideal (VFI) for science: having been widely accepted in the past, it has now come to be thoroughly rejected. Instead, the commonly asserted view now is that there is a new problem for philosophy of science to address, namely, distinguishing appropriate from inappropriate value-influence on science. While understanding the many intricate ways that values can influence science is an important task for philosophy, we argue that this framing—that there is a single phenomenon to be understood or a single problem to be solved—is misleading and liable to distort inquiry. This framing creates a chimera.

“Take our political problems…The idea that we might conceivably have something to learn from our traditional, non-technological, culture is not at all starry-eyed. Ideally, politics is applied ethics. But ethical wisdom does not necessarily increase with technological advancement."--Wiredu #philsky

Il semble y avoir une utilité délicate dans la gestion des erreurs. Si on épelle ανυπομονώ comme ανηπομονώ, il n’y a aucune raison pour fixer sur la faute d’orthographe, mais si on calcule incorrectement 5.16 au lieu de 7.21, on se demande pourquoi.
